This Trump quote on Maine

[Anonymous]

Remember when gays were all anyone talked about politically and now it’s kind of settled. And now we’ve moved onto the Trans boogeyman.

What happened to Don’t Tread on Me crowd? Lol

Alas for those transwomen, that still does not make them women, but thanks for so handily demonstrating that if you lightly scratch a trans right supporter, you immediately reveal the vicious misogynist underneath.

Fat Republican women are not victims, they are perpetrators.

As for “lightly scratching,” apparently centrist Dems are actually transphobic bigots

But skinny women are okay?

So listen. I’m actually with you on the trans stuff. This should never have become a hill to die on. It was all blown out of proportion by both sides in relation to the percentage of trans people in society. These people deserve to live their lives peacefully and without persecution. That being said, you can’t have it all and they should stay out of sports. Sometimes you don’t get everything you want. That is life.

However it’s disingenuous to say that Trump and the GOP are interested in protecting women’s rights. They aren’t. Trump is a sex offender. He has no respect for women. He has gone out of his way to strip the rights of women. He’s a convicted felon. He staged an attempted coup of the United States. He issued mass pardons for convicted felons. This man is not interested in helping anyone but himself.

Trans people absolutely can compete in sports. They should do so according to their sex.

Cant blame Biden, since he wasnt really in office, but the Woke idiots using his autopen to promote dudes in girls bathrooms, masks, closing schools, inflation...you name it. When something goes woke, it turns to sh*t

Show me on the doll where the masks hurt you.

Also, masks and school closings happened under Trump …. Sucks, but you can’t blame Biden.

Now we’re facing stagflation and a recession under Trump. And I just paid $8 for eggs at Giant, so it’s not that “woke” left that is turning things to poop.

I’m in MA. Just paid $5.99 for free range eggs at Ring Bros. The problem is the DC area

So yes, Kamala was fully supportive of Weekend at Joes orders, including allowing Trans men in womens sports, lockerooms, bathrooms etc.

And that paved the way for the mandate for Trump

You don't have a specific citation for where she definitively supported transmen in womens sports, bathrooms and locker rooms.

"She supported Joe" isn't enough. Give SPECIFICs.

Lots of people will be absolutely delighted with this. And not just MAGA. Anyone across the county who feels Democrats are the party of elitists that demand total belief compliance from everyone. The people who think the Democrats stopped listening to voters. The people who resent Democrats telling them that they have to accept their entire orthodoxy or they are bad people.

You don’t understand it because you are a DCUM Democrat, almost certainly UMC or wealthy, almost certainly a woman, probably white. You are one of the people that everyone else resents because you’ve attempted to shove a belief system you think makes you the best person, better than others, down everyone else’s throats.

Just FWIW, I do not support Trump’s behavior here at all. But the hermetically sealed echo chamber that convinces themselves that everyone agrees with you is wrong here.

Trump is a generationally clever politician. He’s picked an issue where wealthy white Democrat elites are on the opposite side of the rest of nearly the whole country, and he’s using it as a way of demonstrating that the Democratic Party doesn’t listen to its voters, is out of touch, etc. So when he is demanding an apology, people see him as demanding an apology from a bunch of wealthy elitists who believe they are better than everyone else. They don’t see it as bullying. They see it as him fighting for the underdog against power structures and people that hate them.

This is impossible for most DCUM Democrats to understand, however, because it requires them to admit that they are wrong, and not superior people. It requires them understanding that their adherence to political orthodoxy and fundamentalism has alienated large swaths of the voting population. It requires progressives to admit that they are as religious as the fundamentalist Christians, just on different issues. And that’s never going to happen, so you will remain puzzled that most of the rest of the country doesn’t see this quote the way you do.

DP. I don't get it.

Can you show for me, EXACTLY AND SPECIFICALLY, where Kamala Harris or other major Democratic candidates running in 2024 had "put men in womens sports" as part of their campaign platforms or anywhere in their campaign speeches?

Show me something specific and maybe I'll start to get it. If not, maybe you can start to admit you're the one who's wrong and to acknowledge that the GOP ran a massive smear campaign claiming they did. Bob Casey for example lost because of that smear campaign and NEVER ONCE said a single thing about women in mens sports.

So either provide specific evidence if you want me to "get it" or back off and change course.

The fact that Biden tried to change Title IX to redefine sex as gender identity proof enough.
But, you can also add to that - 203 Democrats voted to allow biological men in women's sports instead of protecting women and girls.

I will never understand why anyone thinks this is worse than the fact that Trump tried to overturn an election and inspired an insurrection. It is the pinnacle of whataboutism.

This encapsulates the Democrats' messaging problem last election. Instead of supporting reasonable policy positions, they doubled down on unpopular positions and then called voters unreasonable for not supporting them. Use some self reflection.

This #bothsidesing is false. In the 2024 political season ONLY ONE SIDE was repeatedly bringing up trans issues, over and over and over, ad nauseam. It was Republicans. I did not hear one single Democrat in 2024 actively talking about trans issues. That's not gaslighting or denial, it's reality.

[Anonymous]

We Democrats seem to have no agency. We just want to keep telling ourselves that we are highly moral due to our love for migrants and trans folks. But we apparently have no interest in winning elections.

Why can’t we understand that saving the world is up to us?! We’re sitting around waiting for MAGA to vote against Republicans for us?! We have to do it!

The most important thing now is for us to take back control and restore Democracy. That means we have to give it a rest on trans athletes. We can’t keep fighting for their right to be in girls’ rooms. Yes, they deserve to be there because yes, transwomen are women. But for now, as long as WE are the party pushing that, we’ll lose voters, and Democracy will remain at grave risk. The flyover state voters WILL embrace trans athletes eventually, but not quite yet. We have to decide, do we want to be right, or do we want to save Democracy. History will not look kindly in us if we forfeit elections to monsters over this tiny issue.

Yah, it’s great. Can’t wait to see where we rank on the next Corruption Index. What a joke this administration is. They are looting our go Emmett and Trump had become a stereotypical dictator. How can you not see that?

The GOP made genitals an issue. Stop making genitals an issue. It’s disgusting, and honestly, you look like thug bullies who have trans panic.

We need to start treating this GOP obsession with private parts like the disturbing, obscene, and morally bizarre thing that it is. Stop focusing on kids’ private parts and start focusing on whether you can afford to feed them.
